Kwame Gets 60 Years

Report This Post

Thus far Kwame Kilpatrick has cost Detroit and Wayne County around $12,000,000.00 in lawsuits, legal expenses etc..

The Mayor earns around $200,000.00 a year. He would have to thus far work for free 60 years just to pay back the principle amount he owes The City Of Detroit and Wayne county.

The question is how much could you lose the company you work for and still have a job?

I'm sure it's a little less than what The Mayor of Detroit has got away with so far.

	shockhazard Aug 16, 2008 \| 11:50 PM Steve , this is a good post , but , look at who you are talking to .

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 9:44 AM Detroit will never move forward until it demands proper behavior of its leaders and starts to understand that scam behavior is not to be the norm.

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 9:51 AM It has become clear that when there are so many people backing him there must be quite a few that have not learned this behavior is wrong. I'm sure there are many honest people in Detroit, but at present they seem to be out numbered by the dishonest.

	hucksboat Aug 17, 2008 \| 4:06 PM I DON'T WANT TO CALL ANYONE STUPID SO I GUESS MISLED WOULD BE THE WORD.I SEEN ONE PERSON WHITE IS ALWAYS RIGHT WELL WE ALL NO THIS ISN'T SO BUT THE TURN YOUR BACK IF THEY'S BLACK ISN'T WORKING SO WELL EITHER.BLACK AND WHITE DESERVE ONE THING FROM THERE ELECTED OFFICALS THE TRUTH IF YOU WERE OUT SLEEPING WITH SO AND SO AND GET BUSTED ADMIT IT THEM STEP DOWN IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES HEAR ME BILLY,JOHNNY,AND KWAME

	revdaalkaholik Aug 17, 2008 \| 5:34 PM well let me chime in on this,hi steve and shock 1st of all,now the mayor actually needs to step down but thats his only card he has to play as of this moment so he's not gonna do that because he still controls the police. So that muthacanucka from canada who is our soo call governor will have to remove him and replace him with somebody who is substandard and will do nothing for detroit ohh wait when has anybody ever done anything for detroit other than coleman young? ok where's the heat................ http://community.myfoxdetroit.com/blogs/revdaalkaholik/ 2008/08/16/The_Kwame_Game_come_play#comments

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 7:54 PM You asked when has anybody done anything for Detroit? The problem is people are always looking for someone or some organization to do something for them. Detroit isnt in a mess because of poor leaders. The mess starts with Detroit having one of the worst dropout rates in the country and this stems from a breakdown in the family structure and instruction of proper behavior.

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 8:04 PM I lived in Detroit until my kids became school age so they wouldnt have to put up with the problems.

	former_detroiter Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:42 PM This issue has already been settled........in KK`s mind that is. He said he has already paid back the city in full with all of the "hard work" he has done. insert twilight zone theme

	KLYETT Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:42 PM revdaalkaholik: O-M-G! Coleman "did" for the city but was just as corrupt--he was just good at covering his BLEEP. The problem isn't the do--it's the "who" in your do. Detroit needs someone of integrity to step up and represent it along with doing a good job otherwise the message that is sent is that behavior like this is ok.

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:59 PM you can blame the media and the suburbs for it all. the whistlebower suit was bologna. and the suburbs awarded them the money without any evidence of wrong doing they didnt even PROVE that they were even investigating the mayor. oh I forgot they didnt have no buss investigating the mayor. brown job was to investigate cops and the mayor is not a cop. its not the mayor fault that Kym Worthy is spending the most money in wayne county history on a trial period. let alone a pejury case. which in wayne county history has never been prosecuted out of a civil trial. its not the mayors fault that the city council wants to hire an attourney and go foward with bogus investigations when all they have to do is sit back and let the judicial system work or let the public decide. all they need is 60,000 signatures in a city with 900,000 people.

	gbpdetroit Aug 18, 2008 \| 1:17 PM Det 313 according to you KK has never done anything wrong. I think you saw him walking on water. As for Coleman, that politics it didn't happen if you don't get caught. Coleman wasn't sloppy or greedy like some of these other indiviuals. KK ain't the only sloppy politician, look at the school board and the city council. They've been at it for years,too. Maybe that why our mayor thought that he could be soo outright with his deeds. See alot of you Kwamites think that it about pointing fingers at KK but its really about his arrogance and disrespect to our intelligent. But you have to be intelligent to know that you're being insulted.

	shockhazard Aug 18, 2008 \| 2:51 PM Yeah , the great Coleman , who as we were in a fight against apartied in Africa , was dealing in Kugarands ! [ gold African currancy , which , at the time , was illegal ] . This guy got voted in because of his cival rights work ! My god ! Are Detroiters stupid , or what !?

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 5:08 PM gdp I didnt say he didnt do anything wrong all I'm saying is whats wrong with letting the judicial system work. whats wrong with dealing with facts and truth. because we obviously cant depend on the news to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH so when the oppurtunity to hear the TRUTH is infront of us we dont want to hear it."justice", "Justice", "Justice" thats all you people are yelling but are not willing to allow the Justice process to work. yall have allready found him guilty and only know one side of the story. its two sides to every story.

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 5:11 PM the judge did what was right by the law today. not whats right by the media, not whats right by public opinion but the law. and in the city carter if you would have read it you would already know they had no grounds. but since the judge followed the law, he's in KK's pocket. why do yall want to lynch him so bad. this is not the south and this is not the 1960's anymore.

	honeyinmich Aug 18, 2008 \| 7:18 PM I just read this on the Freep.com page. I wonder what the new “phase” will be.. LOL Alabama attorney Jim Parkman is no longer with Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s legal team, a spokesman said today. Kilpatrick spokesman Marcus Reese issued a statement tonight, saying: “The Mayor has put together a legal team of various backgrounds and experience designed to play different roles during different stages. We are now moving into another phase, the Mayor’s legal team will reflect this transition accordingly.”

	Supreme_Wisdom Aug 18, 2008 \| 9:58 PM Why did WWJ pull the plug on the live-broadcast of the trial right when Ofcr. White was going to be cross-examined by the Mayor's legal team???

	marshmello Aug 18, 2008 \| 11:22 PM the money the city paid out on the whistle blower lawsuit came from money that is set aside just 4 that,it's not used 4 anything other than lawsuits.The money the council has spent so far is coming from tax payers dollars.Don't u find it strange that only 1 council member showed up 4 the hearing 2day while they pushed 4 this hearing and paided 4 it with city money but have so much 2 say after they lost,the same ones who didn't show up 4 the whistle blower trial.The lawyer 4 the council knew they did't have a leg 2 stand on 2day but he took the cities money anyway.I also find it strange that nothing was said when Archor gave himself a $250,000 raise and borrowed millions from the casinos and comerica bank and never paid it back,KK just paid it back with the rest of the budget he balanced his 1rst. term in along with the million Archors' chief of staff (Freemon Hendricks)got.And 2 think Archor did all that be4 he fathered a child while in office by another woman

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:13 AM thank you marshmello Im glad its somebody else on hear that knows the real. the city self insures itself. and you are correct the money that paid those officers only could be used for that. the police department pays out over 200 million in lawsuits every year. but the cc has spent more on bogus hearings and wasted more time than anyone. they are silly sometimes and make plenty of sense other times. they could have save a whole lot of money by getting people to sign a petition and letting Detroiters Decide. Now I am pissed that they asked the Governor to take away our voting rights. they have not PROVED anything agaist our mayor. so whay are yall so willing to get him out. Probably because KC will become the mayor. his vote should not have counted anyway because he has the most to gain from it. so take away his vote and its 4 to 4 dead lock. just let the people decide. I'm going to be pissed if the govenor takes away my right to vote for who I wanted and will be in lansing. this is 2008 not 1908 and we have the right to vote who we want.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:15 AM the cc is not responding to what Detroiters want they are responding to what the media wants. they didnt hold no polls to see what DETROITERS think about the situation they didnt even ask Detroit so how can they say they are doing what the citizens want when they didnt even ask

	rosiesgirl Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:46 AM WWJ pulled the live report because when Det.White started to tell the court how Kwame told him to "Get the fuck" off the property, it leaked through their 3 second delay AND the rest of the testimony was FILLED with bleeps....can't broadcast that by the FCC rules. As for the Kwame being removed by the Governor...I think she should remove hi, when are people going to want more for their city, I see wwhere some people are pulling the race card here AGAIN. How about the HUMAN-RACE CARD ???? How bought right is right and wring is wrong??? I could care less if this guy was polka-dot....if you're missuing your office your AS*S should be removed. Detroit's state funds are being siphoned off to all these "so-called" family & frineds projects that are only smoke-filled rooms....they are not benefiting the citizens of Detroit.. You can go ahead and scream that the media and suburbs are the problem...but your wrong. The problem is Kwame and all the crap he's inflicted upon Detroit. If he would have kept his pants on in the beginning - none of this crap would have leaked out. Stupid is as stupid does.

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 10:28 AM You know rosiesgirl I couldn't have said it better. I'm so tired of Det 313's excuses and he finally got someone to get on his bandwagon. We ain't talking about Archer, Clinton, Bush or That sorry a$% city council. I'm talking the sh$%t that KK has been stiring up in this city. As for the media, they are always going to make their bias comments. Read between the lines, Didn't you learn that in jr. high school social studies. Except for the Kwamites like you there are alot of Detroit citizens that want KK out. The people of this city is tired of the entire situation from the people that I talk to. Most of them are on the east side and they also say that KK did for the west side and Dexter area not for the entire city. You haven't been on the east side at all have you DEt 313? The Denby area is a waste land!

	minteeford Aug 19, 2008 \| 12:18 PM Old folks use to say that a man is a man and will always be a man, unable to keep it in his pants. But since when does not keeping it in your pants have anything to do with your successes. he followed behind Archor and his mess left behind, cleaned it up to a point and stille managed to do something for the city. People take office behind one another and we as a city foget the possition the city was in before hand. We never take into concideration that there was a screw up before a fix up. This is not to say that what the mayor may have done is right. But what he's done was good for the city. What other city is as well Known now as Detroit.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:31 PM I live on the east side. what are you talking about. I live on 7 mile and Gratiot. and yes its a mess but its a mess because of my neighbors in the neiborhood. its not the mayors fault that people are selling crack and when the police raid homes they just move next door or keep doing what they are doing untill the police burn the house down. yes that is right the police have burned more houses down than the arsonist. and leave them to rot. its not the mayors fault sombody dumps trash in vacant lots. its not the mayors fault people dont take care of their own stuff. what do you want the mayor to go around every house to make sure the grass is cut and their dishes are washed. cmon thats stupid. stop pointing fingers its easy to pint fingers. its new shopping over their new businesses. I dont have to go to eastland to get some clothes I can just go up the stree to footlocker J bees and other bussiness. I can go grociery shopping and everything. what wrong with the eastside is crack and its not going anywhere. it was hear before the mayor and will be hear long after or at least untill the government stop allowing that crap to fly in the country

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:32 PM ...and go straight to the ghetto

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:35 PM and I'm tired of people sayin the famopus phrase "the city is in a state paralysis" no its not. all city services are still going on. My trashed still is being picked up my street was cleaned the other day and I have the ticket to prove it because I didnt move my car off of the street. Bulk Trash drop off sites are still open. the city county building is still open. so where is the paralysis.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:39 PM ps lets not forget the city workers that do half azz jobs because they are protected by the union. most city workers have been their since Coleman young was in office or longer. he cant hire everybody in every position for the city. its not his fault some city workers do half azz jobs. its their supervisors and Union leaders fault

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:59 PM Well then if you're going to make excuses for what he can't do then don't bragg about what he can do. You're either bragging about the good or putting the blame on someone else and you wonder why they say you're on KK's payroll. You don't talk like you're from the eastside. The way it looks over there is very unacceptable. And if you always going to blame crack and the crack heads then it'll always be that way. i lived on Saratoga some years ago and I know what you're talking about with the houses being burned down. Then build more and protect them with real cops. I always hear him bragging about the property he builds in the city where is the home building over there. And I don't think the citizens over there would like to hear you say they're selling crack and don't cut their grass, especially when alot of property over there is vacant.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 2:39 PM yes the property is vacant but it still has owners. the city doesnt own evey vacant lot every abandoned house. People all over the city take care of their lawns I am one of them. their are beautifull streets that keep their stuff together. but you crtisize me saying that people over their wouldnt like to hear me say they're selling crack and dont cut their grass but you're the person that asked "have I been on the east side" and said "the whole Denby area is a wasteland" its brand news homes on the eastside ride down Georgia and those streets around Vandyke and 94 its blocks and blocks of brand new low income homes with attached garages and everything. if you think I'm Lying go over their. Crack Is a problem. its not pointing the blame its being realistic. you dont think that crack has had a huge influence on our neighborhoods?

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 2:49 PM You still don't understand that this city as a whole is in a wreck. If you don't understand that then so be it. You keep talking about little pockets in the city. Kk is supposely renovating the whole city. You gave him credit for that and if you're going to say that then back it up with more than downtown and little pockets of the big city.

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 3:36 PM I would advise anyone that wants to have an intelligent discussion of intelligent opposing views to not participate in any discussion with 313! He is as useless as his mayor that he worships. SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND IGNORE HIM!! I know I will not waste another second responding to someone who believes kool-aid has something to do with race. Damn, he dumb. And yes, I am black. I think that 313 could be about 10 years old so please everyone, don't waste another second! Some people will always have less because they aspire nothing more.

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 3:44 PM Tell them Rosie girl!

	Freedom80 Aug 19, 2008 \| 4:33 PM Yea and that still don't count. He really needs to take a vacation. But he can't, he not able to leave, not even go to the Democratic Convention. Iam Sorry! Iam Sorry! Iam Sorry! I WANT DO IT AGAIN! Hope he rots in jail and all of his cronnys also.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:30 PM Martha tell me what I have Said that isnt TRUE point it out to me so I can understand what you're saying. just because I dont believe everything on the idiot box doesnt mean I'm an Idiot. Yall are going crazy over something no one has proven yet. non of the allegations agaist the mayor has been proved. I bet if I wrote a post sayin I saw the mayor on the east side smoking crack yall would be all over it in the blogs and all around saying the mayor is a crack head. and I know it because thats what yall are doing now. the media dont tell us the whole story or even the truth. they have lied to us way more than the mayor alledgedly. so why do yall put so much trust in them. police killed four people in july alone. bet you didnt hear that on the news.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:32 PM ps steve you're from canton so why are you so interested in Detroit. you are apart of Detroits problem all the white people moving out. and when have you been this interested in what happens in Detroit is it because its turning back into the great city it once was?

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:46 PM Police killing four people is exactly the kind of corruption that we are speaking of. Yes, I get that it hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt but does it really take that to happen for reasonably intelligent people to draw even conclusions? No, of course not. When someone commits a murder and was caught in the act, would you still believe that there was a chance that they DIDN'T do it? Of course not, but would they still get a trial. Of course. Everything doesn't have to come to its final conclusion to draw reasonable ideas.And you never want to bring up race but you constantly speak on it, that's hypocritical.You say you believe in God, so do you agree that God made ALL people? Our race is not on trial because there are amazing black people doing amazing things. People that don't perceive their race as a hinderance but wear it proudly to show that we can accomplish anything with INTEGRITY!

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:52 PM And the city of Detroit is very powerful in our state of Michigan. The problems of Detroit are trickling down to other cities in Detroit. Did you know that if someone live in another city in Michigan and works in Detroit, that they have to pay Detroit taxes?

	revdaalkaholik Aug 19, 2008 \| 10:19 PM if you believed what i said about coleman was true,i know somebody needs a better crack dealer cuz your drugs are,mmm'k(ohh god,i went groupie and qouted eminem,lol)

	Supreme_Wisdom Aug 19, 2008 \| 11:48 PM rosiesgirl: You said: "WWJ pulled the live report because when Det.White started to tell the court how Kwame told him to "Get the fuc*k" off the property, it leaked through their 3 second delay AND the rest of the testimony was FILLED with bleeps....can't broadcast that by the FCC rules." They knew what the testimony was going to be BEFORE the trial (it had been leaked enough times by WCPO). They had the sound bites all ready to go. If they were going to chance a "live broadcast" they should have carried it all the way through. Why stop there. They had already broken FCC rules. Might as well complete the mission. I'll tell you why... they NEVER had an intention to give a fair and balanced account of the proceedings. I am investigating the owners and leadership of the local media - who are they? What is their agenda? What is their aim? What is their purpose? It's time we face our enemies in the open. Stop throwing stones and hiding your hand like you always do, cowards!!!!

	Martha601 Aug 20, 2008 \| 1:07 AM That's funny! Good luck with your investigation. I hope when you find out the "truth", that you're willing to admit how wrong you were.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:45 AM so martha are you saying its KK's Fault that the police has killed people without any form dicipline? and as for people working in Detroit paying Detroit taxes and living in other cities they knew that when they got the job. if they dont want to pay the taxes they can get another job duh. I'm sure somebody will take his or her place.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:46 AM ps martha you still havnt told me what I have said that is not true

	rosiesgirl Aug 20, 2008 \| 9:41 AM the FCC imposes fines against the stations that broadcast obscene words, so you think they should go ahead and broadcast? Real smart. All will come out in the wash, but as we all know, when Kwame is done...it'll all be blamed on the race-card, he was falsely accused, he was set-up, etc.,etc.,etc. EXCUSES. This is why Detroit will NOT prosper. Too many excuses for everything. Noone giving a damn about their children or what they're up to. Noone accepting the blame for anything. If I did my job like the mayor is doing his, I would have been FIRED after the perjury. PERIOD. Kwame is being given a fair trial, it will be by the people of his peers (That mean human beings) And the facts will be stated for all to hear. The media is there to inform us of what's going on, and I've even seen them report GOOD things on Kwame....you weren't bitching then...were you? But you don't want them to report when he's screwing up? That's censorship. Not fair to any of us. Keep cheering for your loser...it's amusing...the city will go nowhere with theis fool running things. Do you know how many job-openings there would be if kwame dumped all his relatives off the city jobs? (Family & Friends Plan). Don't you want more for your city besides a few pockets of nice neighborhoods? The mentality puzzles me.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 12:34 PM rosie you cant just overnight turn every neighborhood into a beautiful place. its not possible. and if he fired all of his family and friends whose to say that who gets the job is going to do a better job. no one has talked about their job performance. they just hate on them because they're in the mayors family or friend. thats called a lynch mob. and by firing them doesnt mean the city is going to save money because its not those jobs will have to be filled. Drug test will have to be performed and innocent people will loose their job just because yall dont like the Mayor they suffer. they even went so far as to put everybody on blast that contributed to the Defense Fund. that is a blatent move to deter potential supporters from donating.

	Pipper Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:16 PM You're right Det33, ALOT of people are going to lose their jobs when Kwame either gets put out or steps down. One of the main ones is Sharon McPhail, who's writing letters to Granholm to save her job under the guise of trying to save kwame's. LOL!

	shockhazard Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:28 PM Det , why do you always try to put words in peoples mouths , or try to change what they said ? You nevr seem to answer a question with anything of substance . you would rather answer a question with a question . Or , you just speculate the truth .

	rosiesgirl Aug 20, 2008 \| 9:19 PM det, when I said "do you know how many jobs would be open if KK didn't have his family & friends plan? I MEANT...maybe some detroiters with experiecnce and a loyalty to the job could fill them, and I do believe that a lot of the people DONT have the correct experience. They're just FRIENDS. I also don't think ALL the neighborhoods could be turned into paradise overnight, but HOW long has he been in office...and just HOW many of your neighborhoods have been improved??? Downtown Yes...where people work 9-5....but in the neighborhoods where PEOPLE live 24/7...not much improvement. You also think....you'll just settle for the people on the payroll because "who's to say the next guy is better?" Why do you settle for this???? If you didn't do YOUR job...would your boss just keep you on???? And by the way...if you don't pass a drug test you're not an INNOCENT person, you're a drug user. If this is what your mayor allows he needs to be canned. ASAP. I don't want to lynch anyone...those words came out of kwames mouth, not mine. I do hope the best for detroit, but I hope there's more than this to hope for.

	Det313 Aug 21, 2008 \| 11:40 AM why dont you belive they are qualified just because they're "friends or family" of the mayor? you dont even know their experience their education or how they perform their job so why would you make a statement like that and like many other statements youve made. the nieghborhoods are better than they were 6 years ago Fact. I live in the city have been living there all my life. so I know and see whats going on the improvements being made. you live in roseville you are not in the neighborhoods. you dont come to the hood. so how can you comment on something you are not experiencing.

	Det313 Aug 21, 2008 \| 11:42 AM springthing what are yo talking about please give me an example of what you are saying

	brownsugar391 Aug 21, 2008 \| 5:43 PM In my opinion, he needs to step down. The negative publicity isn't doing the city any good. The case is open and shut. We all saw him on TV stating that him and Christine wasn't having an affair under oath. The text messages prove different. The result: HE LIED UNDER OATH which is by the way, a felony. But fortunately for him, we live in the United States of America; and he IS innocent until proven guilty. And when karma comes back on his behind for the party, and lying under oath; we all can move on and watch the inside story 2 years down the road on one of those documentary shows on cable.I can't wait til it comes on!

	AxcessDnyed Aug 22, 2008 \| 9:05 PM If people really knew what goes on in politics(and in behind the scenes business),they could not handle the truth.Kwame is a crook,but he is trying to cop a plea for no jail time,no paying back the money he has lost for our state,with the promise he will leave office and not run again.I don't think even his smart lawyers will get him out of the mess he has got himself into.His family are crooks,and they will sweep a wide net,and find most of his associates are crooks too.

	rosiesgirl Aug 22, 2008 \| 11:21 PM Yes,Axcess...I agree....they offered him a plea this morning, and they said they need to think about it because they just GOT it. Tonight ....his spokesperson says "They (i guess they mean the prosecuters attorney) didn't HAVE the athourity to make such an offer !!! Such bull...he went onto to say they think the prosecutor should resign. I believe that kwame could hire a thousand lawyers and he couldn't get his BLEEP out of this sling. lol

Then why didn't they offer the broadcast in its entirety on their website? Or is that regulated by the FCC too? LOL!

Everyone is picking on the mayor. Give me a break. He's arrogant and Brash......While he begs for mercy and forgiveness....You fools want to make this a black and white issue. No one has picked on him, and color has no place in this situation. Wrong is wrong regardless of color. Cries for support of this man..........Please....think about his family? He's a caring individual? He slept with his childhood friends wife, didn't give a lot of concern about his kids or Beatty's, That's the lowest of lows.

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 9:44 AM Detroit will never move forward until it demands proper behavior of its leaders and starts to understand that scam behavior is not to be the norm.

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 9:51 AM It has become clear that when there are so many people backing him there must be quite a few that have not learned this behavior is wrong. I'm sure there are many honest people in Detroit, but at present they seem to be out numbered by the dishonest.

	hucksboat Aug 17, 2008 \| 4:06 PM I DON'T WANT TO CALL ANYONE STUPID SO I GUESS MISLED WOULD BE THE WORD.I SEEN ONE PERSON WHITE IS ALWAYS RIGHT WELL WE ALL NO THIS ISN'T SO BUT THE TURN YOUR BACK IF THEY'S BLACK ISN'T WORKING SO WELL EITHER.BLACK AND WHITE DESERVE ONE THING FROM THERE ELECTED OFFICALS THE TRUTH IF YOU WERE OUT SLEEPING WITH SO AND SO AND GET BUSTED ADMIT IT THEM STEP DOWN IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES HEAR ME BILLY,JOHNNY,AND KWAME

	revdaalkaholik Aug 17, 2008 \| 5:34 PM well let me chime in on this,hi steve and shock 1st of all,now the mayor actually needs to step down but thats his only card he has to play as of this moment so he's not gonna do that because he still controls the police. So that muthacanucka from canada who is our soo call governor will have to remove him and replace him with somebody who is substandard and will do nothing for detroit ohh wait when has anybody ever done anything for detroit other than coleman young? ok where's the heat................ http://community.myfoxdetroit.com/blogs/revdaalkaholik/ 2008/08/16/The_Kwame_Game_come_play#comments

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 7:54 PM You asked when has anybody done anything for Detroit? The problem is people are always looking for someone or some organization to do something for them. Detroit isnt in a mess because of poor leaders. The mess starts with Detroit having one of the worst dropout rates in the country and this stems from a breakdown in the family structure and instruction of proper behavior.

	steveincanton Aug 17, 2008 \| 8:04 PM I lived in Detroit until my kids became school age so they wouldnt have to put up with the problems.

	former_detroiter Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:42 PM This issue has already been settled........in KK`s mind that is. He said he has already paid back the city in full with all of the "hard work" he has done. insert twilight zone theme

	KLYETT Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:42 PM revdaalkaholik: O-M-G! Coleman "did" for the city but was just as corrupt--he was just good at covering his BLEEP. The problem isn't the do--it's the "who" in your do. Detroit needs someone of integrity to step up and represent it along with doing a good job otherwise the message that is sent is that behavior like this is ok.

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 12:59 PM you can blame the media and the suburbs for it all. the whistlebower suit was bologna. and the suburbs awarded them the money without any evidence of wrong doing they didnt even PROVE that they were even investigating the mayor. oh I forgot they didnt have no buss investigating the mayor. brown job was to investigate cops and the mayor is not a cop. its not the mayor fault that Kym Worthy is spending the most money in wayne county history on a trial period. let alone a pejury case. which in wayne county history has never been prosecuted out of a civil trial. its not the mayors fault that the city council wants to hire an attourney and go foward with bogus investigations when all they have to do is sit back and let the judicial system work or let the public decide. all they need is 60,000 signatures in a city with 900,000 people.

	gbpdetroit Aug 18, 2008 \| 1:17 PM Det 313 according to you KK has never done anything wrong. I think you saw him walking on water. As for Coleman, that politics it didn't happen if you don't get caught. Coleman wasn't sloppy or greedy like some of these other indiviuals. KK ain't the only sloppy politician, look at the school board and the city council. They've been at it for years,too. Maybe that why our mayor thought that he could be soo outright with his deeds. See alot of you Kwamites think that it about pointing fingers at KK but its really about his arrogance and disrespect to our intelligent. But you have to be intelligent to know that you're being insulted.

	shockhazard Aug 18, 2008 \| 2:51 PM Yeah , the great Coleman , who as we were in a fight against apartied in Africa , was dealing in Kugarands ! [ gold African currancy , which , at the time , was illegal ] . This guy got voted in because of his cival rights work ! My god ! Are Detroiters stupid , or what !?

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 5:08 PM gdp I didnt say he didnt do anything wrong all I'm saying is whats wrong with letting the judicial system work. whats wrong with dealing with facts and truth. because we obviously cant depend on the news to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH so when the oppurtunity to hear the TRUTH is infront of us we dont want to hear it."justice", "Justice", "Justice" thats all you people are yelling but are not willing to allow the Justice process to work. yall have allready found him guilty and only know one side of the story. its two sides to every story.

	Det313 Aug 18, 2008 \| 5:11 PM the judge did what was right by the law today. not whats right by the media, not whats right by public opinion but the law. and in the city carter if you would have read it you would already know they had no grounds. but since the judge followed the law, he's in KK's pocket. why do yall want to lynch him so bad. this is not the south and this is not the 1960's anymore.

	honeyinmich Aug 18, 2008 \| 7:18 PM I just read this on the Freep.com page. I wonder what the new “phase” will be.. LOL Alabama attorney Jim Parkman is no longer with Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s legal team, a spokesman said today. Kilpatrick spokesman Marcus Reese issued a statement tonight, saying: “The Mayor has put together a legal team of various backgrounds and experience designed to play different roles during different stages. We are now moving into another phase, the Mayor’s legal team will reflect this transition accordingly.”

	Supreme_Wisdom Aug 18, 2008 \| 9:58 PM Why did WWJ pull the plug on the live-broadcast of the trial right when Ofcr. White was going to be cross-examined by the Mayor's legal team???

	marshmello Aug 18, 2008 \| 11:22 PM the money the city paid out on the whistle blower lawsuit came from money that is set aside just 4 that,it's not used 4 anything other than lawsuits.The money the council has spent so far is coming from tax payers dollars.Don't u find it strange that only 1 council member showed up 4 the hearing 2day while they pushed 4 this hearing and paided 4 it with city money but have so much 2 say after they lost,the same ones who didn't show up 4 the whistle blower trial.The lawyer 4 the council knew they did't have a leg 2 stand on 2day but he took the cities money anyway.I also find it strange that nothing was said when Archor gave himself a $250,000 raise and borrowed millions from the casinos and comerica bank and never paid it back,KK just paid it back with the rest of the budget he balanced his 1rst. term in along with the million Archors' chief of staff (Freemon Hendricks)got.And 2 think Archor did all that be4 he fathered a child while in office by another woman

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:13 AM thank you marshmello Im glad its somebody else on hear that knows the real. the city self insures itself. and you are correct the money that paid those officers only could be used for that. the police department pays out over 200 million in lawsuits every year. but the cc has spent more on bogus hearings and wasted more time than anyone. they are silly sometimes and make plenty of sense other times. they could have save a whole lot of money by getting people to sign a petition and letting Detroiters Decide. Now I am pissed that they asked the Governor to take away our voting rights. they have not PROVED anything agaist our mayor. so whay are yall so willing to get him out. Probably because KC will become the mayor. his vote should not have counted anyway because he has the most to gain from it. so take away his vote and its 4 to 4 dead lock. just let the people decide. I'm going to be pissed if the govenor takes away my right to vote for who I wanted and will be in lansing. this is 2008 not 1908 and we have the right to vote who we want.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:15 AM the cc is not responding to what Detroiters want they are responding to what the media wants. they didnt hold no polls to see what DETROITERS think about the situation they didnt even ask Detroit so how can they say they are doing what the citizens want when they didnt even ask

	rosiesgirl Aug 19, 2008 \| 9:46 AM WWJ pulled the live report because when Det.White started to tell the court how Kwame told him to "Get the fuck" off the property, it leaked through their 3 second delay AND the rest of the testimony was FILLED with bleeps....can't broadcast that by the FCC rules. As for the Kwame being removed by the Governor...I think she should remove hi, when are people going to want more for their city, I see wwhere some people are pulling the race card here AGAIN. How about the HUMAN-RACE CARD ???? How bought right is right and wring is wrong??? I could care less if this guy was polka-dot....if you're missuing your office your AS*S should be removed. Detroit's state funds are being siphoned off to all these "so-called" family & frineds projects that are only smoke-filled rooms....they are not benefiting the citizens of Detroit.. You can go ahead and scream that the media and suburbs are the problem...but your wrong. The problem is Kwame and all the crap he's inflicted upon Detroit. If he would have kept his pants on in the beginning - none of this crap would have leaked out. Stupid is as stupid does.

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 10:28 AM You know rosiesgirl I couldn't have said it better. I'm so tired of Det 313's excuses and he finally got someone to get on his bandwagon. We ain't talking about Archer, Clinton, Bush or That sorry a$% city council. I'm talking the sh$%t that KK has been stiring up in this city. As for the media, they are always going to make their bias comments. Read between the lines, Didn't you learn that in jr. high school social studies. Except for the Kwamites like you there are alot of Detroit citizens that want KK out. The people of this city is tired of the entire situation from the people that I talk to. Most of them are on the east side and they also say that KK did for the west side and Dexter area not for the entire city. You haven't been on the east side at all have you DEt 313? The Denby area is a waste land!

	minteeford Aug 19, 2008 \| 12:18 PM Old folks use to say that a man is a man and will always be a man, unable to keep it in his pants. But since when does not keeping it in your pants have anything to do with your successes. he followed behind Archor and his mess left behind, cleaned it up to a point and stille managed to do something for the city. People take office behind one another and we as a city foget the possition the city was in before hand. We never take into concideration that there was a screw up before a fix up. This is not to say that what the mayor may have done is right. But what he's done was good for the city. What other city is as well Known now as Detroit.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:31 PM I live on the east side. what are you talking about. I live on 7 mile and Gratiot. and yes its a mess but its a mess because of my neighbors in the neiborhood. its not the mayors fault that people are selling crack and when the police raid homes they just move next door or keep doing what they are doing untill the police burn the house down. yes that is right the police have burned more houses down than the arsonist. and leave them to rot. its not the mayors fault sombody dumps trash in vacant lots. its not the mayors fault people dont take care of their own stuff. what do you want the mayor to go around every house to make sure the grass is cut and their dishes are washed. cmon thats stupid. stop pointing fingers its easy to pint fingers. its new shopping over their new businesses. I dont have to go to eastland to get some clothes I can just go up the stree to footlocker J bees and other bussiness. I can go grociery shopping and everything. what wrong with the eastside is crack and its not going anywhere. it was hear before the mayor and will be hear long after or at least untill the government stop allowing that crap to fly in the country

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:32 PM ...and go straight to the ghetto

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:35 PM and I'm tired of people sayin the famopus phrase "the city is in a state paralysis" no its not. all city services are still going on. My trashed still is being picked up my street was cleaned the other day and I have the ticket to prove it because I didnt move my car off of the street. Bulk Trash drop off sites are still open. the city county building is still open. so where is the paralysis.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:39 PM ps lets not forget the city workers that do half azz jobs because they are protected by the union. most city workers have been their since Coleman young was in office or longer. he cant hire everybody in every position for the city. its not his fault some city workers do half azz jobs. its their supervisors and Union leaders fault

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 1:59 PM Well then if you're going to make excuses for what he can't do then don't bragg about what he can do. You're either bragging about the good or putting the blame on someone else and you wonder why they say you're on KK's payroll. You don't talk like you're from the eastside. The way it looks over there is very unacceptable. And if you always going to blame crack and the crack heads then it'll always be that way. i lived on Saratoga some years ago and I know what you're talking about with the houses being burned down. Then build more and protect them with real cops. I always hear him bragging about the property he builds in the city where is the home building over there. And I don't think the citizens over there would like to hear you say they're selling crack and don't cut their grass, especially when alot of property over there is vacant.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 2:39 PM yes the property is vacant but it still has owners. the city doesnt own evey vacant lot every abandoned house. People all over the city take care of their lawns I am one of them. their are beautifull streets that keep their stuff together. but you crtisize me saying that people over their wouldnt like to hear me say they're selling crack and dont cut their grass but you're the person that asked "have I been on the east side" and said "the whole Denby area is a wasteland" its brand news homes on the eastside ride down Georgia and those streets around Vandyke and 94 its blocks and blocks of brand new low income homes with attached garages and everything. if you think I'm Lying go over their. Crack Is a problem. its not pointing the blame its being realistic. you dont think that crack has had a huge influence on our neighborhoods?

	gbpdetroit Aug 19, 2008 \| 2:49 PM You still don't understand that this city as a whole is in a wreck. If you don't understand that then so be it. You keep talking about little pockets in the city. Kk is supposely renovating the whole city. You gave him credit for that and if you're going to say that then back it up with more than downtown and little pockets of the big city.

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 3:36 PM I would advise anyone that wants to have an intelligent discussion of intelligent opposing views to not participate in any discussion with 313! He is as useless as his mayor that he worships. SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND IGNORE HIM!! I know I will not waste another second responding to someone who believes kool-aid has something to do with race. Damn, he dumb. And yes, I am black. I think that 313 could be about 10 years old so please everyone, don't waste another second! Some people will always have less because they aspire nothing more.

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 3:44 PM Tell them Rosie girl!

	Freedom80 Aug 19, 2008 \| 4:33 PM Yea and that still don't count. He really needs to take a vacation. But he can't, he not able to leave, not even go to the Democratic Convention. Iam Sorry! Iam Sorry! Iam Sorry! I WANT DO IT AGAIN! Hope he rots in jail and all of his cronnys also.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:30 PM Martha tell me what I have Said that isnt TRUE point it out to me so I can understand what you're saying. just because I dont believe everything on the idiot box doesnt mean I'm an Idiot. Yall are going crazy over something no one has proven yet. non of the allegations agaist the mayor has been proved. I bet if I wrote a post sayin I saw the mayor on the east side smoking crack yall would be all over it in the blogs and all around saying the mayor is a crack head. and I know it because thats what yall are doing now. the media dont tell us the whole story or even the truth. they have lied to us way more than the mayor alledgedly. so why do yall put so much trust in them. police killed four people in july alone. bet you didnt hear that on the news.

	Det313 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:32 PM ps steve you're from canton so why are you so interested in Detroit. you are apart of Detroits problem all the white people moving out. and when have you been this interested in what happens in Detroit is it because its turning back into the great city it once was?

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:46 PM Police killing four people is exactly the kind of corruption that we are speaking of. Yes, I get that it hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt but does it really take that to happen for reasonably intelligent people to draw even conclusions? No, of course not. When someone commits a murder and was caught in the act, would you still believe that there was a chance that they DIDN'T do it? Of course not, but would they still get a trial. Of course. Everything doesn't have to come to its final conclusion to draw reasonable ideas.And you never want to bring up race but you constantly speak on it, that's hypocritical.You say you believe in God, so do you agree that God made ALL people? Our race is not on trial because there are amazing black people doing amazing things. People that don't perceive their race as a hinderance but wear it proudly to show that we can accomplish anything with INTEGRITY!

	Martha601 Aug 19, 2008 \| 5:52 PM And the city of Detroit is very powerful in our state of Michigan. The problems of Detroit are trickling down to other cities in Detroit. Did you know that if someone live in another city in Michigan and works in Detroit, that they have to pay Detroit taxes?

	revdaalkaholik Aug 19, 2008 \| 10:19 PM if you believed what i said about coleman was true,i know somebody needs a better crack dealer cuz your drugs are,mmm'k(ohh god,i went groupie and qouted eminem,lol)

	Supreme_Wisdom Aug 19, 2008 \| 11:48 PM rosiesgirl: You said: "WWJ pulled the live report because when Det.White started to tell the court how Kwame told him to "Get the fuc*k" off the property, it leaked through their 3 second delay AND the rest of the testimony was FILLED with bleeps....can't broadcast that by the FCC rules." They knew what the testimony was going to be BEFORE the trial (it had been leaked enough times by WCPO). They had the sound bites all ready to go. If they were going to chance a "live broadcast" they should have carried it all the way through. Why stop there. They had already broken FCC rules. Might as well complete the mission. I'll tell you why... they NEVER had an intention to give a fair and balanced account of the proceedings. I am investigating the owners and leadership of the local media - who are they? What is their agenda? What is their aim? What is their purpose? It's time we face our enemies in the open. Stop throwing stones and hiding your hand like you always do, cowards!!!!

	Martha601 Aug 20, 2008 \| 1:07 AM That's funny! Good luck with your investigation. I hope when you find out the "truth", that you're willing to admit how wrong you were.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:45 AM so martha are you saying its KK's Fault that the police has killed people without any form dicipline? and as for people working in Detroit paying Detroit taxes and living in other cities they knew that when they got the job. if they dont want to pay the taxes they can get another job duh. I'm sure somebody will take his or her place.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:46 AM ps martha you still havnt told me what I have said that is not true

	rosiesgirl Aug 20, 2008 \| 9:41 AM the FCC imposes fines against the stations that broadcast obscene words, so you think they should go ahead and broadcast? Real smart. All will come out in the wash, but as we all know, when Kwame is done...it'll all be blamed on the race-card, he was falsely accused, he was set-up, etc.,etc.,etc. EXCUSES. This is why Detroit will NOT prosper. Too many excuses for everything. Noone giving a damn about their children or what they're up to. Noone accepting the blame for anything. If I did my job like the mayor is doing his, I would have been FIRED after the perjury. PERIOD. Kwame is being given a fair trial, it will be by the people of his peers (That mean human beings) And the facts will be stated for all to hear. The media is there to inform us of what's going on, and I've even seen them report GOOD things on Kwame....you weren't bitching then...were you? But you don't want them to report when he's screwing up? That's censorship. Not fair to any of us. Keep cheering for your loser...it's amusing...the city will go nowhere with theis fool running things. Do you know how many job-openings there would be if kwame dumped all his relatives off the city jobs? (Family & Friends Plan). Don't you want more for your city besides a few pockets of nice neighborhoods? The mentality puzzles me.

	Det313 Aug 20, 2008 \| 12:34 PM rosie you cant just overnight turn every neighborhood into a beautiful place. its not possible. and if he fired all of his family and friends whose to say that who gets the job is going to do a better job. no one has talked about their job performance. they just hate on them because they're in the mayors family or friend. thats called a lynch mob. and by firing them doesnt mean the city is going to save money because its not those jobs will have to be filled. Drug test will have to be performed and innocent people will loose their job just because yall dont like the Mayor they suffer. they even went so far as to put everybody on blast that contributed to the Defense Fund. that is a blatent move to deter potential supporters from donating.

	Pipper Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:16 PM You're right Det33, ALOT of people are going to lose their jobs when Kwame either gets put out or steps down. One of the main ones is Sharon McPhail, who's writing letters to Granholm to save her job under the guise of trying to save kwame's. LOL!

	shockhazard Aug 20, 2008 \| 8:28 PM Det , why do you always try to put words in peoples mouths , or try to change what they said ? You nevr seem to answer a question with anything of substance . you would rather answer a question with a question . Or , you just speculate the truth .

	rosiesgirl Aug 20, 2008 \| 9:19 PM det, when I said "do you know how many jobs would be open if KK didn't have his family & friends plan? I MEANT...maybe some detroiters with experiecnce and a loyalty to the job could fill them, and I do believe that a lot of the people DONT have the correct experience. They're just FRIENDS. I also don't think ALL the neighborhoods could be turned into paradise overnight, but HOW long has he been in office...and just HOW many of your neighborhoods have been improved??? Downtown Yes...where people work 9-5....but in the neighborhoods where PEOPLE live 24/7...not much improvement. You also think....you'll just settle for the people on the payroll because "who's to say the next guy is better?" Why do you settle for this???? If you didn't do YOUR job...would your boss just keep you on???? And by the way...if you don't pass a drug test you're not an INNOCENT person, you're a drug user. If this is what your mayor allows he needs to be canned. ASAP. I don't want to lynch anyone...those words came out of kwames mouth, not mine. I do hope the best for detroit, but I hope there's more than this to hope for.

	Det313 Aug 21, 2008 \| 11:40 AM why dont you belive they are qualified just because they're "friends or family" of the mayor? you dont even know their experience their education or how they perform their job so why would you make a statement like that and like many other statements youve made. the nieghborhoods are better than they were 6 years ago Fact. I live in the city have been living there all my life. so I know and see whats going on the improvements being made. you live in roseville you are not in the neighborhoods. you dont come to the hood. so how can you comment on something you are not experiencing.

	brownsugar391 Aug 21, 2008 \| 5:43 PM In my opinion, he needs to step down. The negative publicity isn't doing the city any good. The case is open and shut. We all saw him on TV stating that him and Christine wasn't having an affair under oath. The text messages prove different. The result: HE LIED UNDER OATH which is by the way, a felony. But fortunately for him, we live in the United States of America; and he IS innocent until proven guilty. And when karma comes back on his behind for the party, and lying under oath; we all can move on and watch the inside story 2 years down the road on one of those documentary shows on cable.I can't wait til it comes on!

	rosiesgirl Aug 21, 2008 \| 11:14 PM alice,,,you're a little shaky babe...posting 7 times. Noone wants YOU, a great Detroiter of 60 years to go anywhere, but we want you to have decent city services, fire, police and ems, arriving in a timely manner when called.e want you NOT to pay for getting garbage picked up...we want you to have working hydrants....we want our seniors TO BE SAFE...and the greedy super rich, kks family and friends plans are making a LOT of them rich.

	Pipper Aug 22, 2008 \| 7:35 PM alicefort, you need to get your computer fixed! LOL! Rosiesgirl, you're right. Kwamie and friends are among the GREEDY SUPER RICH, thanks to the good citizens of Detroit.

	AxcessDnyed Aug 22, 2008 \| 9:05 PM If people really knew what goes on in politics(and in behind the scenes business),they could not handle the truth.Kwame is a crook,but he is trying to cop a plea for no jail time,no paying back the money he has lost for our state,with the promise he will leave office and not run again.I don't think even his smart lawyers will get him out of the mess he has got himself into.His family are crooks,and they will sweep a wide net,and find most of his associates are crooks too.

	rosiesgirl Aug 22, 2008 \| 11:21 PM Yes,Axcess...I agree....they offered him a plea this morning, and they said they need to think about it because they just GOT it. Tonight ....his spokesperson says "They (i guess they mean the prosecuters attorney) didn't HAVE the athourity to make such an offer !!! Such bull...he went onto to say they think the prosecutor should resign. I believe that kwame could hire a thousand lawyers and he couldn't get his BLEEP out of this sling. lol

	rosiesgirl Aug 22, 2008 \| 11:21 PM yes....

	Supreme_Wisdom Aug 23, 2008 \| 9:25 AM rosiesgirl: You sound like you might be Sam Riddle... Sam, is that you? How's your GF Mary Waters doing after her defeat? Anyway, Sam... You said, "the FCC imposes fines against the stations that broadcast obscene words, so you think they should go ahead and broadcast? Real smart." OK, fine. Then why didn't they offer the broadcast in its entirety on their website? Or is that regulated by the FCC too? LOL! I'm tempted to do the same thing to you that I did to Mikey66 to help him to understand how unfair biased reporting can be... Be On the Lookout for Another Rip

	rosiesgirl Aug 23, 2008 \| 10:24 PM yes, it's sam. sam I am, green eggs and ham.

	rosiesgirl Aug 23, 2008 \| 10:33 PM Why are you so angry, wisdom? I'm only voicing my opinion, nothing more. We talked about the FCC, I'm not a communications major or an expert in FCC rules, but I do know some of them. I'm NOT reporting biased things, there is freedom of speech here, I haven't sworn at you...or talked badly to YOU. This is an open forum, and I'd appreciate you NOT THREATENING me. If you don't want to read the blogs, don't....thery're all opinions...not all facts...OPINIONS.

	2manyliesagain Aug 24, 2008 \| 1:17 AM realdallkholic or whatever your name is. You, and those that think like you are simply the reason we have the problems that we do. Everyone is picking on the mayor. Give me a break. He's arrogant and Brash......While he begs for mercy and forgiveness....You fools want to make this a black and white issue. No one has picked on him, and color has no place in this situation. Wrong is wrong regardless of color. Cries for support of this man..........Please....think about his family? He's a caring individual? He slept with his childhood friends wife, didn't give a lot of concern about his kids or Beatty's, That's the lowest of lows. Try and remember Snakes cant be domesticated............He's a snake!
